The Third Eye. The Eye of Horus. The Seat of the Soul. These, along with the pineal body, conarium or epiphysis cerebri, are all different names for the same thing: the mysterious pineal gland. A small endocrine gland in the brain, the pineal gland produces melatonin, a hormone that affects the modulation of sleep patterns in the circadian rhythms and seasonal functions. But some believe that it is much more than that.

This week on One Cell One Light Radio, Dr. Hildy welcomes returning guests Rick Dubov and Veronica Hendricks to discuss the Cosmic Egg myth and its link to the pineal gland.

The cosmic egg is a mythological motif found in the creation myths of many cultures and civilizations. Typically, the egg is a beginning of some sort, and the universe or some primordial being comes into existence by “hatching” from the egg, sometimes lain on the primordial waters of the Earth. Many ancient mythologies include an idea of a cosmic egg, including Egyptian, Greek, and Phoenician. The currently most popular theory of creation, the Big Bang Theory, is an example of a cosmic egg myth: the universe coming into being through the “hatching” of an egg, in this case the entire mass of the universe that was compressed into a gravitational singularity from which it expanded to its current state.

This week on One Cell, One Light Radio, Dr. Hildy™ welcomes back guests Rick Dubov, Veronica Hendricks and Producer Shoshanna Allison to discuss the importance of our pineal gland and its relevance in art, science and particularly spirituality.

The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland in the vertebrate brain. It produces the serotonin derivative melatonin, a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns and seasonal functions. It is reddish-gray and about the size of a grain of rice in humans, and shaped like a pinecone, hence its name.

René Descartes, who dedicated much time to the study of the pineal gland, called it the “principal seat of the soul.” He believed that it was the point of connection between the intellect and the body. Descartes attached significance to the gland because he believed it to be the only section of the brain which existed as a single part, rather than one half of a pair. He argued that because a person can never have “more than one thought at a time,” external stimuli must be united within the brain before being considered by the soul, and he considered the pineal gland to be situated in “the most suitable possible place for this purpose,” located centrally in the brain and surrounded by branches of the carotid arteries.

Author Manly Palmer Hall, who founded the Philosophical Research Society, wrote a book years ago called the Pineal Gland: The Eye of the God(s) and described the earlier writings by adepts to its logical beginning of the endocrine system. The pineal body arises in the fifth week of the human embryo. Early on the pineal gland was even recognized by E.A. Wallis-Budge as he referred it to being Osiris the Egyptian Resurrection, when in describing the entry of Ani into the presence of Osiris in the Egyptian ritual of Coming Forth by Day as “ the so-called “cone” on Ani’s wig.”

Some believe that every human being’s pineal gland can be activated to spiritual world frequencies and enables you to have the sense of all knowing, godlike euphoria and oneness all around you. In this belief, a pineal gland once tuned into proper frequencies with help of meditation, yoga or various esoteric, occult methods, enables a person to travel into other dimensions, popularly known as astral travel or astral projection or remote viewing.

Taoists call the center of the brain between the pineal and the pituitary “the Crystal Palace.” It’s between the old brain at the back and the new brain at the front of the head, between the left and right hemispheres, sitting above the two wings of the mysterious ventricles. It rests between the two large cerebrums at the anterior end of the cerebellum. The cerebellum is one of the oldest features of the brain, involved in coordinating muscular activity in the body. It’s said that when the pineal gland is activated it becomes illuminated like a ‘thousand suns’. The sense of white light flowing within and without may be when the pineal gland is highly activated producing DMT-type chemistry during the height of the peak.

During the 2nd Hour of the show, Dr. Hildy™ and her guests Veronica Hendricks and Rick Dubov will introduce the audience to new discoveries Dr. Hildy has made in the analysis of specific nano bio-sensory materials of the nasal cavity.

Some of the specimens were further analyzed using Raman or Micro FTIR technology to determine their chemical composition. The guests and Dr. Hildy will discuss her findings and the function of these materials as they relate to the pineal gland.

Join Dr. Hildy™ and her guests this week as they discuss the mysteries of the Pineal Gland on One Cell, One Light Radio!
